We are very happy that Christina Woo visited us today for a very well-attended LED3 Lecture. She talked about the importance of C-terminal cyclic imides as natural #degrons for protein degradation with important implications for targeted protein degradation.

Very much looking forward to the @LED3hub Lecture by Christina Woo! I am sure it will be a great one.
If you are interested in #ChemicalProteomics and/or targeted protein degradation #TPD, you will not want to miss it.
We are looking forward to the LED3 Lecture of Christina Woo on February 26th. She will talk about "Rewriting Protein Modifications".
If you are interested, make sure to come by!

Overall, I hope that 2026 will yield at least the same degree of scientific progress as 2025. (12/12)

Last paper post of the year!
Amazing Nature Chemical Biology paper by the group of Christina Woo. PCMT1 installs cyclic imides on asparagines at the C-terminus of proteins via SAM-dependent methyl ester formation, which then leads to degradation using cereblon.
